The thing that selfishly pisses me off the most about these once-reliable companies turning out to be fascist collaborators and/or 'AI' boosters is that they are turning things I could pay them to not have to think about into something I need to reconsider.

Things I could just use have turned into things I need to manage, review, contain, and research alternatives to, taking time away from the things I actually enjoy.

There is so much money to be made being a brand that you can just use without needing to think about it, being utterly boring in its reliability and predictability, and yet, somehow, these fuckers keep wanting to extract more.

It's just never ENOUGH 😒
